I just added this to cvs.
You have access to name and symbol of the storage unit of any Variable, 
Constant, UniqueConstant, or ReferencedVariable:

unitsymbol (), unitname ()

or

Unitsymbol (), Unitname ().

All functions return a std::string with the respective item. The functions with 
capital first letters are static, i.e. they can be called on a type, like
Time::Unitname (), while the versions with the lower case first letter must be 
called on an object, such as
Time t;
std::string result = t.unitsymbol ();
